Verite News is now accepting applications for the 2024-2025 cycle of our newsroom fellowship program.

The fellowship is designed for early-career journalists who want to spend 12 months learning from a newsroom of passionate, dedicated professionals. Fellows join our news team, honing their reporting and digital storytelling skills as they focus on developing in-depth journalism that serves communities across the New Orleans area. They produce substantive work, and by the end of the fellowship are prepared for the next phase of their journalism careers. 

Our fellows have covered local music and culture events; written nuanced and timely pieces on the environment and reproductive health; and reported stories on topics of everyday importance to New Orleanians, focusing on institutions such as schools and libraries. Some of their work has been picked up and republished by other news outlets, reaching a much wider audience across the state and region. 

Applications for the June 2024-2025 cycle are now open. To apply, please use this form

The priority deadline is January 31, 2024. Applications submitted after this deadline will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Please contact Dylan Penny at [email protected] with any questions.
